Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Not only Neverwinter citizens saw the Bloody Moon .

Margaret was standing at the bow of the "Snow Wind" early this morning while gazing at the distant ocean . It had been 66 days since they had crossed the Sealine . Ocean waves rushed toward them, high at one time and low at another . Their movements were almost the same as the waves at the Shadow Waters thousands of miles away as if the two types of waves shared the same origin .

If the Swirling Sea did have a source, it must be the greatest discovery in the history of time .

Margaret was confident that the ocean waves would lead her to her final destination, and she also put great faith in the "Snow Wind" .

The "Snow wind" did not require a sail to proceed against gusts of wind and rushes of rain . Since the ship was colossal, they could put plenty of food and water on it . Thanks to this robust and sturdy iron ship, not a single ship fell behind in this expedition .

She believed that Thunder would definitely make some spectacular discovery during this journey .

"Any luck?" a familiar voice said to her from behind .

Margaret turned around and said smilingly, "If I did find something, I would have informed the lookouts perched on the mast . So, you should have asked them first . "

The person who was speaking to her was none other than the captain of the fleet, Thunder .

"I don't think so," he said brightly . "Perhaps they've found something already but are too shocked to say anything . "





Magaret stifled her laughter . She knew Thunder was referring to what had happened when they had crossed the Sealine . When the horizon became vertical, even the most experienced sailor had failed to react promptly . Everyone had fallen off the watchtower as the world had turned upside down, their legs too shaky to support them .

Seasoned sailors would normally cling to cables and masts in the event of a storm to prevent themselves from falling off the ship . However, the Sealine rendered all the common senses they had useless .

Thunder said while shrugging, "According to my intelligence, the Chambers of Commerce would later change their lookouts . They'll have the boldest person on their ship to serve as a lookout . Shame on them . "

"Really?" Margaret said while shaking her head . "But I believe after the experience at the Sealine, nothing could really perturb them anymore . "

"Who knows?" Thunder said while patting Margaret on the shoulder . His voice suddenly lowered . "Don't worry . Joan will be fine . "

Margaret's smile faltered . She nodded resolutely and said, "Yes, she was born to live in the ocean . I'm sure we'll meet her again somewhere soon . "

Being optimistic was an important ability for explorers . Margaret knew worrying would not help with anything . What she should do was to pull herself together and move on .

"By the way, the meeting is about to start," Thunder said after a moment of silence . "The other captains are already there . Come to the cabin with me . "

"Okay, got it . "

All the captains gathered to discuss the route, the status of their ships, and resources . They held this meeting every three or four days to make sure the whole fleet was on the right track .

Just at that time, Thunder and Margaret noticed that the seawater was suddenly awash with a sheet of a strange red color .





The sailors on the deck were all frozen to the spot, gaping at the far distance as if seeing something incredible .

A little farther on, several people fell off the mast and to the deck, as though they had seen the Sealine again . It really surprised Magaret .

Weren't they the boldest people on the ship?

Margaret turned around slowly, and the next moment, all her blood froze .

A gigantic, crimson round celestial object hung low over the horizon, far larger than the sun . It just came out of nowhere!

"In the name of Three God," Margaret mumbled . "Is this what His Majesty called the Bloody Moon?"

But Thunder did not speak . It was such a terrifying scene that even Thunder failed to formulate a proper answer .

A long whistle pierced the air .

It was the "Snow Wind" .

The shriek of the ship shattered the dead silence and jerked everyone out of the trance .

The whistle indicated there were enemies!





Margaret and Thunder exchanged dark looks and ran toward the bridge .

"What happened?" Thunder yelled as he darted into the command room .

"There are . . . ships," his first mate stammered, "coming from the southeast . . . toward us . . .

"What?" Thunder said . He quickly snatched the telescope from the first mate and looked in the direction the latter had pointed out .

Margaret's heart sank to the bottom . They were now thousands of miles away from the Shadow Waters . They hardly saw any birds around this area, let alone ships .

This was a new sea never intruded by human beings!

She thus got a pair of telescope from another sailor and looked in the same direction .

"Jesus . . . "

Margaret gasped . Two shadows were floating on the surface of the water . They had no sail but were proceeding against the water . What was more horrific was that the seawater around them was boiling, as though numerous fishes were coming with them .

However, Margaret soon noticed that what seemed to be fishes were actually the last thing explorers wanted to see .

They were sea ghosts .

Their fins slid in and out of their views . Sometimes, they leaped out of the water, throwing a splatter of water that reflected off the sinister red sheen of the Bloody Moon, which reminded Margaret of a pack of sharks vying for food .

"On my order, all the ships turn about!" Thunder yelled . "Full sail! Advance in full sail! Everyone, ready for the war!"

"Yes, sir!"

"We've got trouble . . . " the captain of the "Tuna" swallowed hard .

"May the God of Ocean bless us," the other captains all prayed .

Fjords people knew that no ship could outstrip a sea ghost, which meant their enemies would soon catch up with them .

Their situation worsened every minute .

As the two shadows got closer, Margaret saw what they looked like . They were half in the shape of a ship and half a skeleton of a monster, something that would have only appeared in one's nightmare . Their ribs exhaled clouds of dark green objects, and they were now only a dozen miles away from them!

When the dark green object fell into the water, the ocean stirred . Apparently, nobody wanted to be hit by such an ominous thing .

Thunder remained unflappable and issued another order . "Abandon all the food and supplies . Keep half of the drinking water only . . . No, just keep 30% of them and accelerate!"

Astonished, Margaret said, "Then we won't be able to explore . "

"And it's probably not going to be enough for us to return to Neverwinter . . . " the first mate said hesitantly .

"We could fish and collect rain . " Thunder took a sharp intake of breath and said, "However, if we could not outrun those sea ghosts and monsters, we'll all end up dying here . The exploration is over . Now, our goal is . . . to survive!"
